Without a shadow of a doubt, the recent trilogy of "The Lord of the Rings." Sure the books are more expansive and narrative of the story (they always are!), but the action sequences were surely some of the best ever put on film.
The casting in the Harry Potter films was superb, particularly for such a young cast.
Apocalypse Now! was a great modern adaptation on a nineteenth-century novel.
[Apologies for going with all the big commercial blockbusters, but they're the ones that stand out @ the moment]. More l8r maybe...

Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption- Stephen King.
By far the best, and if you have never seen it, DO, `One flew over the cuckoos nest`, a life changing film.
